Saturday morning at a friend's home in OKC, about to return to Soonercon 22
Overheard at Soonercon 22 this weekend was the disturbing news that Mr. Allen may have attempted to make an unwelcome appearance AND that he was there to 'kill Kim Chiles'. Killing her for what we do not even know or imagine since she was one his 'witnesses' to his conspiracies and imaginary crimes, and old school mate from High school. Even more of a twist, it was said that she was planning on getting a Protective Order against him! We do not know how true all of this is and cannot confirm it, but it does ring well with what we know. Eyes were out looking for the presence of Wacko...I mean. Mr. Allen all weekend at the convention but fortunately there was no Worm Sign. The meme posted here on Friday about banning him from the con was passed around security at the hotel, so his face was well known if his terrible reputation wasn't already.
His many stalking victims were present at the convention as guests and seemed to have had no problems all weekend. You would imagine that if Mr. Allen was such a great and influential person in the gaming or publishing industry that he would have been there, or to continue ranting about his 'Beyond War' nonsense. He wasn't though and that was great! In fact, we remember his many old posts about how he did these legendary 'panels' in the 90's about the computer game industry and how important that he made them sound (and ground breaking and oh so important) and then we remember too that they usually won't just give any lying fool a panel to speak on unless they are proven to be fairly well-experienced in their subject - and by the 90's Wacko was still in High School with NO experience in anything except for being a mentally disturbed little boy. We remember Soonercon in the 90's, we were there, and he wasn't in that capacity. We did meet him a few times and thought he was a nut then too. He was unable to get a game together, and wanted to LARP White Wolf stuff all weekend, there was NO talk of his computer game project or anything like it. NONE.
There hasn't been anyone so reviled as Mr. Allen in the Oklahoma convention scene. There are lots of quirky types, odd people and weirdos a plenty, but they are harmless and part of the scene making it fun. Mr. Allen is a different breed of crazy. He cannot simply step down from his high throne of narcissism or delusion long enough to be back on earth with the rest and take part, no, he has to continue his insanity with no end in sight, until he drives away everyone, and he does. You know someone must be bad when the nerdy scene rejects you! The gamers and fans and all others within are a very open crowd of like-minded people, accepting and fun, but with crazies like Wacko there is NO toleration. He is too mentally ill to mingle or socialize with, a fact he has proven again and again over the years. I can safely say that Soonercon did not miss him, or notice he was gone. So we are left with the unanswered questions of: did he actually make a daring appearance? Was he trying to kill Ms. Chiles, one of his 'witnesses'? We just don't know, and don't care either.
